Xerox Printing - From a Linux system
- NOTE: Please make sure you have contacted Craig Stone to get a print/copy code. You will need to enter your code during the setup below.
Setup involves three steps, detailed below
- Download and install the Xerox installation package
- Run the xeroxprtmgr program to connect and configure the printer
- Setup your print/billing code using the system print dialog
Note that if you are on the "UCInet Mobile Access" wireless network, you must use the VPN software before attempting to connect to the printer.
1) Download and install Xerox Driver
Depending on your system type, install the package with:
dpkg -i xeroxv5pkg-linuxx86_64-5.15.551.3245.deb
or
rpm -ivh xeroxv5pkg-linuxx86_64-5.15.551.3245.rpm
2) Run 'xeroxprtmgr' as root
1. Run "''sudo xeroxprtmgr''"
The program should be installed in /usr/bin/ and automatically in your PATH. Open your Terminal and run:
sudo xeroxprtmgr
to start the configuration program
2. Click on the icon for "Discovered Printers"
3. Click on the printer you want from the list, or if the one you want is not listed, choose any available Xerox printer and we can change it later
- click on a printer, then click the double-downward triangle icon to choose it.
4. Set "Queue Name", "Printer Model" and "IP/DNS"
- Queue Name can be any short description, but no spaces are allowed
- Printer Model should be Xerox WorkCentre 5855
- IP/DNS - type the IP address for your printer. If you don't know, refer to this chart:

- You are all done adding the printer, but you still need to configure the accounting settings by entering your copy code the first time you print.
3) Print using system dialog to enter your print code
- If you print using Chrome (and possibly some other apps), you will see a menu like this, and you must click the link at the bottom to print using the system dialog:
- Select the newly added Xerox Printer, then click on the “Job” tab:
- Enter your print code that you should have received from Craig Stone and then click Print:
